A shocking tale, beautifully rendered, of the resilience and suffering of the people of a great city, of 900 days of suffering
The siege of Leningrad was one of the epics of warfare, survival, and resilience. For more than 900 days, German and Finnish troops (the Finns don\'t like to mention their role) besieged the city that Peter the Great founded, shelling it night and day.
Hundreds of thousands of ordinary Russian citizens were trapped in this magnificent city, and hundreds of thousands of ordinary Russian citizens starved and froze amid appalling conditions. Stories of endurance are legendary.
